At this moment this code path is not reached, but vdpa devices can offer VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS unconditionally. While the guest must assume that link is always up by the standard, qemu will set the status bit to 1 always in this case.
This makes little use by itself, but VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS is needed for the guest to read status bit VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE, used by feature VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE. So qemu must emulate status feature in case it needs to emulate the guest announce feature.
